Hana-Jiman Camellia
One of the Finest Landscape Camellias
The 'Hana Jiman' Camellia is an elegant, evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of large, crinkled white flowers lined with fuchsia-pink along the edges. A burst of bright yellow stamens in the center of each bloom as well as its dark green foliage provides striking contrast and additional visual interest.
A taller growing variety with an upright, spreading growth habit, the Hana Jiman can be grown as a shrub or a small tree. It's ideal for use as a hedge or background plant, grown flat against a wall (espalier), in landscape borders, or home foundation plantings. The Hana Jiman Camellia makes a delightful addition to cottage gardens, cut flower gardens, and woodland borders as well as containers.
In addition to its visual attributes and versatility, the Hana Jiman is also drought, deer, and heat resistant. It prefers indirect afternoon sun, so plant it in a shady area in your landscape and it's relatively low maintenance. Enjoy the Hana Jiman Camellia in your garden or bring the beauty indoors with cut flower arrangements. Get yours today!
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Camellias adapt well to various soil types but prefer a moist but well-drained acidic soil that is rich in organic matter. Plant in an area that gets morning and/or evening sun or all-day filtered sun, avoiding indirect afternoon sun.
Space 5 feet apart for a solid hedge; 10 feet or more apart for space between plants.
2. Watering: Camellias prefer moist but well-drained soil when establishing themselves, but are quite drought tolerant when established. Once established, regular rainfall should provide sufficient watering, but in times of drought, water only as needed to keep the rootball and surrounding soil damp but not overly moist. Camellias cannot tolerate constantly soggy or wet soil conditions, which often leads to the onset of root rot and other harmful plant diseases, so be careful not to over water!
3. Fertilizing: When planting camellias in less that fertile soil that is low in organic matter, mix an organic soil amendment, such as mushroom compost, composted manure, or your own homemade compost, at a 50/50 ratio with the soil removed from the planting hole. This will help get your plants off to a good start by stimulating root growth.
During the first spring, fertilize your camellias in late winter with a fertilizer made for azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons (for acidic soil) or a shrub and tree fertilizer that contains sulfur and/or iron. Fertilize again, if needed, lightly in late summer.
4. Pruning: Pruning is not necessary, but if desired, you can prune camellias to maintain fullness or shape, to form into a small tree, or to revitalize an older plant. Prune damaged or dying branches just after the blooms have faded for best results.
